Consider the natural join of the relation R(A,B) and S(A,C) on attribute A. Neither relations have any indexes built on them. Assume that R and S have 80,000 and 20,000 blocks, respectively. The cost of a join is the number of its block I/Os accesses. If the algorithms need to sort the relations, they must use two-pass multi-way merge sort.

QUESTION:

Assume that there are 10 blocks available in the main memory. What is the fastest join algorithm for computing the join of R and S? What is the cost of this algorithm?

S = Z (integers), R = {(a,b) : a = b mod 5}. Is this relation an equivalence relation on S? S = Z (integers), R = {(a,b) : a = b mod 3}. Is this relation an equivalence relation on S? If so, what are the equivalence classes?

Let R be the relation on Z+× Z+ such that (a, b) R (c, d) if and only if ad=bc. (a) Show that R is an equivalence relation. (b) What is the equivalence class of (1,2)? List out at least five elements of the equivalence class. (c) Give an interpretation of the equivalence classes for R. [Here, an interpretation is a description of the equivalence classes that is more meaningful than a mere repetition of the definition of R. Hint:...

On the set S of all real numbers, define a relation R = {(a, b):a ≤ b}. Show that R is transitive.

For the relation R(A,B,C,D,E) with the following Functional Dependencies: A → B, A → C, BC → D, AC → E, CE → A, list all non-trivial FDs following from the above. Generate all possible keys for R. Check whether R is in 3NF. If it is in 3NF, explain the criteria you used. If it is not in 3NF, convert it into 3NF, showing the new relations and their FDs.

Consider a group of individuals A, B and C and the relation as wealthy as as in A is as wealthy as B. Does this relation satisfy the completeness and transitivity properties? If the relation of the same group of individuals as above was strictly wealthier than, would this relation be transitive?

Consider the class C of all intervals of the form (a, b), a, b ∈ R, a < b and ∅. Show that C is closed under finite intersections but not under complementations or unions. Hint: to show closure of finite intersections, it is enough to prove closure for intersections of 2 sets.
